Two versions of the uniforms were put on display -- a blue-and-gold version and a white-and-blue version.

The white uniform will be used for home games and the blue will be for away games.

“When we announced the Pelicans as the new name for the team, we were looking forward to days like today,” said owner Tom Benson. “We love the look of the new uniforms and are especially proud to have New Orleans across the chest of all of our players who will be representing this great city and region."

The organization said it worked with designer Rodney Richardson to develop the jerseys and the logos.

The word mark on both the home and road uniforms is inspired by French Quarter street signs, the team said.

The uniforms will feature “New Orleans” on the front of both the home and road jerseys, making the Pelicans one of three teams in the NBA to wear its city’s name on the front of both jerseys.

The Pelicans’ partial logo is featured on the side of the shorts, while the “Bird-de-Lis” will be on the back.
